Abstract

Within a framework of the Born approximation simplified by certain assumptions, a procedure is given which explicitly constructs a nonlocal potential that provides a fit to elastic scattering data. The data are assumed to consist of the scattering amplitude as a function of the momentum transfer over a finite range of energies. The constructed potential is unique only when the kernel of the nonlocal interaction is energy independent, or when its explicit energy dependence is known from information other than scattering data.
